    If I were you, I’d just google “mozart effect” and see what you come up with, I’m sure you’ll come up with scads of info. The basic premise is that classical music while heard by a fetus in the womb and by newborns will stimulate brain activity in a positive way and increase overall cognitive ability. I personally do not see how this could ever be proven and would classify it as “junk science.” Good luck

    Here some abstracts of articles that review the Mozart Effect. If you want more info, you should really try to obtain the full-text articles:

    The influence of Mozart’s music on brain activity in the process of learning.
    OBJECTIVE: The study investigated the influence Mozart’s music has on brain activity in the process of learning. CONCLUSIONS: Mozart’s music, by activating task-relevant brain areas, enhances the learning of spatio-temporal rotation tasks.

    Music listening and cognitive abilities in 10- and 11-year-olds: the blur effect.
    The spatial abilities of a large sample of 10 and 11 year olds were tested after they listened to contemporary pop music, music composed by Mozart, or a discussion about the present experiment. These findings are consistent with the view that positive benefits of music listening on cognitive abilities are most likely to be evident when the music is enjoyed by the listener.

    Musical perception and cognitive functions. Is there such a thing as the Mozart effect?
    Throughout the second half of the 20th century important advances were made in the study of neurobiology related to the processing of music, the differences and similarities between the neural pathways involved in language and in music, the role played by each hemisphere in recognising these stimuli, and the effects that exposure to certain specific pieces of music could have on the cognitive functions. CONCLUSIONS: After reviewing the scientific literature on this subject, it was found that the effects of exposure to music by Mozart (the ‘Mozart effect’) when they actually occurred, were limited to a specific skill that did not last for more than a few minutes. Formal musical education, on the other hand, shows more permanent positive effects but which can be attributed to the individual attention the pupil receives and to the stimulation in basic skills for general learning.
